The OMI file

The OMI file is an essential part of the overall component package. It is an xml
file with a file extension of ".omi" and must comply with
the
LinkableComponent.xsd schema. It is used to define the name, location, arguments and target platforms
of a component so that Pipistrelle can find everything
it needs. For our purposes the following Pond.omi file will suffice for the time
being.

If you develop components outside of the .NET framework in native languages such
as Fortran or C++, you will need to add another argument to the list of
Arguments identifying the NativeDll so that the Pipistrelle GUI can find and
validate it. We will cover this in due course.
